Joey McIntyre wrote the forward. I listened to this and she reads it. It was like reliving my childhood. I grew up about 40 minutes from her. I was not aware of all her health issues later in life. A good read for those GenX. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I read both of these when I was looking for a good story about responsibility. I went with Nat. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #kidlit 📚👍

Our home for the weekend. Maybe some biking. Maybe some running. Maybe some hot tubing. Definitely some wineing! #girlsweekend

Just finished perusing this list on my prep time… It has absolutely stellar book recs 📚👍 Some of my absolute faves are here. #ReadAlike recs are fab too. This would be especially helpful for #TLsky & #skybrarians newer to Libraryland, wanting to know what they’ve missed. slate.com/culture/2025...

The next book in the popular @kayke series. Olive is at summer camp, and two of her good friends are fighting and keep putting Olive in the middle! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

Finished this Thursday night. Heartbreaking. No wonder Haymitch was so miserable! If you've read the rest of the Hunger Games, read this. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

Finished listening to this earlier this week. While I'm not a parent, I do work with the same kids for up to 6 years. They come to me as babies in UPK and leave me as people in 4th grade. The days are long but the years are fast! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

She had such a complicated childhood. Her dad was a piece of work! I don't know if I could've loved him unconditionally the way she did. I guess it all made her who she is. And I find her incredibly funny and intelligent. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

I had a good reading month!

Cute middle grade story about Liam and his sisters and how they try to raise money to bring Cupcake, their dog, to a special vet so she'll stop peeing in the house. If not, they'll have to get rid of her. Are they successful? #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

I finished listening to this on my walk. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be but still valuable information. Can't say you don't have time to achieve your goals when you spend hours every night doom scrolling. Make the time! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

Going to sit with this one a bit. I can't control everyone's emotions and actions. But I can control how I respond to them. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

Happy #nationaldogday🐶 to this sassy beast! She keeps us on our toes, but she really is the best dog! #Dejadujour #adoptdontshop #dogsofbuffalo #dogsofinstagram

Thank you, Gerry Brooks for coming to the opening day at Pioneer! Year 16 for me! 17+ overall! #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #library

Finished listening to this on my walk. Someone I follow somewhere recommended this. Another woman I'd never heard of before, but could totally be my friend! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

Stayed up until 1230 finishing this one. Didn't know until the end who did it. It's for book club next week. I think that's 2 months in a row where I knew what the book was and I actually read it! Go me! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

Why do I read these? Yes I've read most of them. Might have to do with watching Columbine from the graphics office of channel 7, horrified. Not knowing that it was the first of many. Because in my 8 years in local TV news I've seen some stuff. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I could've been Max. Frizzy, curly brown hair. Braces. Headgear. Although I didn't have to wear it to school. I didn't deal with this level of bullying. The internet just makes the bullying worse! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

Educators, I hope you have had relaxing, restful summer vacations! As we head into the school year, I wanted to share the resources page on my website. There are teaching guides, discussion questions, and more for many of my books! 📚 buff.ly/pTS2pJW

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I listened to this on the recommendation of Maria. She was right. I just wish Cher read the whole thing. I don't know how she put up with Sonny for so long. I guess if you don't know anything else... #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? One of those classics maybe I was supposed to read in high school. I've seen this called the best book ever written. I don't know about that. But I cared about what happened to these people. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I read this @jasonreynolds83 series in 3 days. The next one comes out in October. I love how all the personalities come together to create a family! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books #kidlit 👍 📚

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Caught up until the new one comes out. Very interesting everything that lead up to the first Earth Day. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books #kidlit 👍 📚

Hey, all! My bookshelves are still too full, so it's time for another #giveaway. Want to win these 11 titles (some of which are signed)? All you gotta do is follow, like, and repost and/or comment and tag a friend. Winner announced on Saturday! ⁠ #kidlit #picturebooks #books #reading #literacy

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I love this series! Too advanced for school, so I bought them all for myself! I knew very little of the Salem Witch Trials. Horrifying that so many were put to death basically because of ghost stories! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 📚👍

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Nina's sister Lily died 3 years ago, before her 13th birthday. This novel in verse follows Nina as she finishes Lily's list of 13 things to do before 13. And she even adds a few of her own things. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Before this all I knew about her was that she was BillyJoel's 2nd wife. There's so much more to her! Did you know that she wanted to be an artist? And fell into the whole super model thing? #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? Kathy is stuck in two worlds. Her mom is Thai. Her dad is American. They live in Thailand, but she goes to an English school. Great story about how to deal with being different. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books #kidlit 👍 📚

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I've been slow to post my books. These 4 picture books will be new titles in our school library this Fall. Available now on Sora. Can't wait to share these with students! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books #kidlit 📚👍

I've had a blog for years. When I first started it, I was much better at doing it semi regularly. Then I trailed off and tried to start again. Maybe the 3rd time's the charm? secretsofalibrarian.blogspot.com/2025/07/i-re...

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I read this one last week while on vacation. I wasn't initially thrilled with the NASA theme, but it was wrong. Of you've liked TJR's other books, you'll like this one too. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #library #books
